George W Bush had just been inaugurated for his first term as US President 5 days earlier, it was the first tax year in which the GST had been operational in Australia, Essendon were the reigning premiers. It also happened to be the date that Mobbs asked "Do you want to play a game?" to a bunch of randos on the internet. Naturally, the answer was 'yes' and thus what we would now come to know as the SFA is born.
A couple months later, the first official round of the first SFA season would be posted, and as we can see, the precedent for administrative incompetence that permeates throughout league history would be set right from the outset.
Well ... would you believe this.
I forgot to check the 'want commentary file' option when playing the game.
We've got a full match played, and full stats available, but no play x play commentary
All I can give you for the moment are the quarter by quarter scores :
Q1 Pump 3.1.19 Dragons 10.3.63
Q2 Pump 8.6.54 Dragons 13.7.85
Q3 Pump 12.15.87 Dragons 16.10.106
Q4 Pump 13.20.98 Dragons 20.16.136
Apologies again, I'm working to have it a saveable prompt so I need to change it away if I don't want commentary, rather than have to choose it each time.
Anyways, I'll post the stats in a few minutes and yers can pick up a better idea of the match from there.
Best goalscorers :
Pump : DeesRule 4 goals
Dragons : TomFC 4 goals

So how can such mediocre and shoddy coding lead to the blossoming of such a thriving, vibrant community that would grow over almost 2 decades?
The reason is You, the SFA player. Without You, Qooty would simply be motionless gears is a defunct machine, it is your energy, imagination, creativity and commitment over the seasons that has built a new world where dreams can be lived out and possibilities are endless. You're the reason why the league and clubs have identities, why awards exist, why we have media, podcasts, club room recreational activities and 2.7 million posts worth of content. Every individual player when they sign up, contributes their own thread; long or short, to the finely woven tapestry that is the Sweet FA story.
====================================================
Alright, hope y'all feeling warm and fuzzy after those wanky platitudes, let's get into the real stuff. Firstly, in celebration of the 30th season of the SFA all captains have been asked to nominate an all time team of 20 and special heritage kit. These all time teams will proceed to play off during the week in exhibition games as curtain raisers to Round 15 games on Sunday, keep an eye out for the 'Heritage Round Qooty Carnival' thread. The nominated kits have been recreated thanks to the efforts of Barrybran.

- The away team has won five of the last seven matches in games played between Coney Island Warriors and Fighting Furies.
- The average winning margin in matches between the Warriors and Furies is 26.81 points however in the last four games, the average margin is just 11.75 points.

====================================================
It's fair to say that these two teams have had diametrically opposed fortunes in Season 30. The Warriors are 10th, out of finals contention due to a team sheet penalty and have only managed 5 wins so far while the Furies have sewn up a spot in finals and sit comfortably in 3rd spot with 9 wins and a good percentage. A win for the Furies will lock up a top 4 spot and a double chance. The Warriors will be aiming to take their biggest scalp of the season and end their disappointing season with some positives.

Interestingly, the two teams are ranked 1 and 2 in S30 for points scored. The clear difference is that while the Furies have an extremely solid defensive game, the Warriors have almost non-existent defence offsetting their scoring capabilities. While the Furies are generally consistent across all four quarters of the game despite more recent concerning trends in the last, the Warriors have been burnt throughout the season late in the game conceding on average over 30 points.
While the Warriors can look unstoppable on their day as seen with the Hawks game, they have been far too inconsistent within games and through the season to be a serious challenger in S30.
====================================================
Prediction: Furies should get the job done easily in a high scoring affair where both teams score 90+. I think they'll win by 29 points.
